This elegant property sleeps 10-plus and is right in the heart of Hampton Beach.

It is not available in August but the first two weeks of September are open. That is when the Seafood Festival is happening, Sept. 5-7.

The condo rents weekly for $5,776 including tax and is available for four-day weekends and extended winter rentals.

Terry Daidone, the owner, has known the property his whole life and owned it since 2007. He spent two years totally renovating it and now The Penthouse is in outstanding shape and has terrific reviews from renters.

There is likely no other property that combines the immediacy of being in the thick of things on Hampton Beach and the intimacy of just pure sand and ocean from your view above the hustle and bustle.

When you enter, the archway draws your eye immediately to the infinite ocean.

At night, you can use the telescope to look at stars or even boats on the horizon.

No need for a designated driver. You can go out on the strip and get a drink or two, leaving your car in the two designated parking spots right in the center of Hampton Beach.

However, it might be hard to leave the wrap-around deck with doors opening to the water view. This is where you will relax and catch up with friends and family.

The stunning kitchen begs for a good cook. Hardwood floors and tile, a gas fireplace and leather couches and elegant dining area make the common space relaxing and inviting. But there is room for lots of teens and their friends with a media room.

There is a whirlpool tub and steam bath in one of the bathrooms and two and a half other baths in the house.

There are three bedrooms with two queen sleepers.

Kids are welcome and pets are considered.

But Terry has rules to minimize the potential for damage from party animals.

You have to be at least 25 years old and have major credit card in your name to rent The Penthouse.
